Just stumbled across Reading Festival & Fred! Wow his music is sublime!! I’m a 53 year old female! This is the most talented artist I’ve heard of some time.
I discovered electronic music composition after leaving it for 20 years, and I discovered Fred. I can't remember what track it was, I just paused it, shut the blinds and danced. This mid 40s male, moved like a mid 20 year old again. I looked at where he came from and it all made sense. It isn't easy to do what he does, he's an incredibly special talent, and I absolutely adore his music. The Roots Manuva stuff is very cool, I wholeheartedly agree.
Broski, I’m right there with you. Fred is my absolute favorite artist ever, even though I had never heard of him 8 months ago. His music is responsible for digging me out of a 6 year long deepest depression you can imagine. Unbelievably, he’s responsible for allowing me to feel happiness again. Which you can’t put a price on.
fred has got me through a lot, i was going to a job interview super nervous. wacked on some fred and vibed on the way to it. Got the job! guys a legend
Fred is THE best artist for me. Massive fan and I am honestly obsessed with his music. The actual life albums are so genuine and pure and you can relate so much to them, but in addition, you have songs like jungle and baby again, or even leavemealone that was recently released and these songs are just perfect for massive parties. everything he makes is just a total banger.
Fred can make something that goes under your skin and touches the emotions you didn’t know you had. My 40yo friend cried through his whole performance. It’s really magical
Great Video! I started listening to Fred in 2019 in a part of my life that was full of transition. I feel he will always be one of my favorite artists. Excited to see what he does next!
1:10 was art. When you said ‘who the fuck is Fred again?’, then the melody for We’ve Lost Dancing came in, my mind automatically sang the lyric ‘who the fuck is Fred’ to that melody 😅 Great video Jack! 🙌🏼
First time viewer of Jack Webb's channel. Really informative content told in an approachable and engaging way. Subscribed. V. likely brought here from Fred Again.. searches. Pleasantly surprised with YT's algorithm.
I feel Fred has leveled up the DJ game, he deserves all the attention he's getting. Hope he inspires other DJs to produce more their own music rather than just mix. Btw love your videos, you deserve more attention as well.
A family member (who sometimes gets it right) sent me a track from the album art I could tell I was going to like it and Fred’s only improved since. Thanks for the vid 👌
Great Video! Was made aware of him just after the release of his first album and was obsessed with that sound since! Managed to see him at a smaller festival in Bristol last year but getting tickets has become an absolute mission 😂 hopefully he is at Glastonbury
@@JackWebbMusicClub Good call 😂! Thoughts on the lineup? Seems a little underwhelming in comparison to last year's first post...looking forward to the more underground stuff though
after years of waitng, Fred Again has showed up, the way Burial showed up, the way This Mortal Coil's version of Song to the Siren showed up - heartbreaking, on point, epic, timely beauty. hope to see him at Glastonbury 23
***FRED AGAIN =1X IN A BILLION!**** How AMAZING is it that every now and then, amongst all the artists and music in our etha (Note - They say on the Googles that 120K songs are released on DSP streaming services every day - That is 43M per year....WTF) Someone with a rather plain name is SO FAR from plain. As a music lover and in the industry for two decades, you seem to over analyze music and not actual kick back and absorb without critique. I am sure peeps who are in the industry have the same struggles. SUPER ANNOYING - It's also not often that something or someone gives you that WOW factor. Newness, and pure originality! But the kicker is - It's across MULTIPLE genres with cross-pollination within those too. WTF! One may even say Fred is a genre within himself. (Hmmmmm) The rawness, the emotion, the visuals, and his ability to perform shows in various formats just BLOWS MY MIND. I know he has touched me and you as we connect with his music journey. Bold statement to make, but I'll take the punches....Fred Again feels like our modern-day Jimmy Hendrix. An ICON in the making! @FredAgain - Don't stop being you amongst all the chaos in the industry - Go with YOUR heart and not what a SUIT says! @JackWebb Keep up the epic work - & BIG LOVE to those who agree on the above!

There are plenty of people with money, and plentry of people with money that try and make it. But, there are few people that manage to actually make exceptional music. The realities of it are that he had an entire career as an exceptional songwriter problem by multiple No1 records. And then organically went and made beautiful art. Quite frankly I couldn’t care who is parents are, or how much money they have.
Currently at 00:54, before I watch the entire video.. man please, adjust the compressor on your mic, and give the sidechain on music more sustain. It is extremely hard to listen to, and distracting, both the sidechain and the fact that only accented syllables can be heard clearly, the rest gets lost. EDIT: Okay, fortunately just the intro is scuffed, the rest of the video is okay. Really cool vid tho, thank you :)
@@JackWebbMusicClub they are definitely different. I can hear his emulation of burial with the vocals and house beats. To my ears, it sounds like an emulation that lacks finesse or originality
there's no way you could be a fan of fred again unless you had little to no knowledge of underground electronic music, a man based off of the work of countless others, a rich toff who's father is not only a lord but his grand father started the daily mail, he is arguably (pretty far) in line for the crown. Go do your research on where his influences are coming from and don't just be a mindless tiktok sheep buying his over hyped nonsence.. if you want mindless dribble please just go listen to avicii or guetta or something.
Thanks for your comments, but I'd ask that you check the 200+ other videos that cover both mainstream and underground artists before asking me to go and do my research. to quote the great Chuck Roberts - "In the beginning there was Jack ... and Jack had a groove ..... Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all Jackers together under one house! You may be black, you may be white, you may be Jew or Gentile. It don't make a difference in our house. And this is fresh!" If you're going to unnecessarily judge someone based on where they've come from, then I think you're missing the point of House.
@@JackWebbMusicClub do you know how backwards your understanding of electronic music and social structure has to be is to think that someone as white and upper class as fred again could even be mentioned in the same lane as jack had a groove.. Legit can't wait for your " Jack Halow changed my life" video and you start quoting NWA. Please just go do your research, there's so much stuff that you could be checking out with so much more integrity, class and higher production standards than this jumped up little tik tok "wait lemme take a selfie" type DJ.
@@JackWebbMusicClub He's ripped off nearly every prominent UK underground dance act in a far cornier way. Overmono, Bicep, Burial, Joy Orbison, this guy hasn't come up with a single original idea that these guys weren't doing 10 years ago
@@royaltweedy8904 Whether you like it or not, Fred Again has made a lot of people very happy, and brought a lot of people back to the dancefloor. I also love Joy Orbison, Burial, Four Tet, Caribou, Overmono, Salute, the list goes on and on I’ve loved dance music since I first heard ebineezer good by the shaman at 3 years old, i’ve made 50+ videos about dance/electronic artists and DJs, and have likely spend a lot more time “researching” that scene than you have. You’ve clearly got an overly dogmatic opinion on this, your totally fine to have it, but please don’t come here and spread your hate.
@@JackWebbMusicClub I'll try not to hate so hard but it's tricky, he's taken the music i care about the most, the stuff i grew up with and obsessed over, bastardised every single factor of it from the production, to the image and in my opinion has made it probably impossible that we will ever see a sophie, autechre, burial, aphex twin or any music centred around the ideals of being anti clout and social media/ instagram friendly centred ever again. I genuinely pray for his downfall because it means that a future artist with a way higher skillset and way looser ideal of image first promotion will be able to make it in what's turned into a very ugly industry thanks to him and his completely ignoramus fans who have absolutely no idea what he's taken everything from.
Brought emotion back to music ... Please...don't make me choke on my own vomit. Fred Again is good but he didn't single handedly bring emotion back to music....stfu

Discovered Fred Again after his boiler room set and has single-handedly changed my music taste and have to see him perform live!!! Can’t wait for Pt2
yeah he's incredible! I'm mega excited for part 2 as well
Life has been feeling different sice then
Me too I can't believe someone had the same exact feeling after luckily running across the boilerroom set listening to daft punk!
Which similar artists did you find yourself listening to?
@@star_platinum19 bunt.
I found Fred through Skrillex. Now Fred Again.. is my most listened artist.
I’ll never forget when this man dropped marea we’ve lost dancing during peak covid 2020. Honestly has so much soul and taste
yeah it hit absolute perfectly for the time
that track single-handedly carried me through lockdown era, even though fred again was no name for me back then.
whenever I feel down, fred again boiler room set is my go-to serotonin.
i kept on hearing a bunch of people in reddit talk about him so i pulled up his boiler room. happiest 2am of my life.
yeah, he's so amazing
Go watch his Tiny Desk Concert and be awed.

Maybe the best electronic music artist I've discovered in recent years
He radiates creativity!

Glad you made it through brother. I agree, Freds creativity radiates in ways I didn't think were possible, love him
fred has got me through a lot, i was going to a job interview super nervous. wacked on some fred and vibed on the way to it. Got the job! guys a legend
yeah, and he just seems to be doing what he wants rather than what everyone else wants him to do.
I am so glad to see that my love for Fred again is shared with so many 🙌 the absolute best.
First artist's music I've connected to like this for many years, insanely talented musician, great video!
...you done great video. Pictures for topic, qoutes...it was really njoybl absorbing infos. Thanks mate!

No point having a ding dong, about getting Fred wrong.
It’s just love for some songs.
Haters can hate, and creators still create.
Just stumbled across this video/channel. It's great for 5k subs, keep going at it man.
thank you for curating this content.
Patiently waiting for part two 😢
Me too.
Haven't enjoyed new music like this since Original Priate Material. Fred Again is the freshest thing I've listened to since that album.
I totally get it!
Great video and analysis!
I feel Fred has leveled up the DJ game, he deserves all the attention he's getting. Hope he inspires other DJs to produce more their own music rather than just mix.
Btw love your videos, you deserve more attention as well.
Thanks so much!
Great video!! Looking forward to part 2
Do a vid about Sammy Virji???
His live sets are spot on along with his own music that hes created👌
Top vid lad knew he was a sick guy but didn’t know he had wrote so many big songs, learned shit there me quality vid lad gassed for part 2
Thanks mate! Yeah, it's for that reason I want dot break it down into two parts
A family member (who sometimes gets it right) sent me a track from the album art I could tell I was going to like it and Fred’s only improved since. Thanks for the vid 👌
you are more than welcome, sounds like you owe that family member a pint!
@@JackWebbMusicClub You're damn right man! :D
great video!! you deserve more cloud!!
I wish I could apply compression to the whole audio of this video
Great Video! Was made aware of him just after the release of his first album and was obsessed with that sound since! Managed to see him at a smaller festival in Bristol last year but getting tickets has become an absolute mission 😂 hopefully he is at Glastonbury
I think it’s inevitable, perhaps a west holt headline? Or a sub headline on mainstages
@@JackWebbMusicClub Good call 😂! Thoughts on the lineup? Seems a little underwhelming in comparison to last year's first post...looking forward to the more underground stuff though
@@tomkelly338 yeah I think it’s pretty mid
Difference a year makes 😂 seen him 6 times and met him, hen and Lou from joy anonymous since this comment
The guy has taken over the world
thank u - loved this video!!
You're so welcome! Glad you liked it!
Heavy is so underrated and incredible
such a banger!
The most important thing is - he creates, not reproduces
100% never seen anyone like him
im not a hater but i dont see how he is not reproducing... sampling is reproducing to an extent. Sound is also nothing new. ;/
after years of waitng, Fred Again has showed up, the way Burial showed up, the way This Mortal Coil's version of Song to the Siren showed up - heartbreaking, on point, epic, timely beauty. hope to see him at Glastonbury 23
Hope you got to see him, he's for sure doing something super special atm, and I'm here for it.
Where is pt.2??
could you list all tracks Fred again has produced?

So pleased you included stay high again, i absolutely love that track and the video ❤️
I love the guy and think he’s supremely talented. But it really was a punch in the gut when I found out he’s a nepo baby ….
